Lobo (Purple Heart Handle)

Lobo is a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing if the wolf was trying to sneak into the produce section. While at first glance it looks like a butcher's cleaver, Lobo is more suited for dicing veggies than chopping bones. It is most similar to our Noa Nakiri Knife but features a taller blade for added clearance and a slightly more curved blade towards the angled nose. Handle: This model’s handle features pure Purple Heart - a hardwood native to Central and South America celebrated for its durability and striking natural red wine color. Other available handles include Guayubira and Olive. Blade: The blade is made of 420 MOV Stainless Steel, which is one of the most widely used knife-making in the world. Please note, that most of our other knives use Sandvik, which is a more premium option. 420 is of a very respectable quality, and will get just as sharp as other blades, and allows us to try out a more accessible price point. Tang: Hidden Length (Blade/Full Knife): 6in / 11in Thickness: 0.1
